Starts soft and clean, but then the petrol note kicks in, making it unique and addictive. It doesn’t project much, but the scent is TREMENDOUS and lasts as long as it lasts.
Starts sweet and harmless, clean, but then that petrol note emerges, making it very distinctive and addictive. It lasts and projects little, but the scent is TREMENDOUS!!!!
I’ve surrendered to this fragrance. It’s now one of my two favourites: the feminine one and this masculine-style scent. It smells of a garage, grease, and motor oil, but underneath there’s vanilla or vaseline that makes it cosy. It’s interesting; like people, you need to give it time to see if you get hooked.
I’ve had to wear it for several days before I could give it a proper review. First, sweet vanilla like a dessert, then a lacquer-type note similar to Molecule 1, followed by strong petrol. Then comes the leather or suede. Good heavens, this would be the perfect scent for Black Afgano’s wife. It reminds me of Jo Malone’s Goosberry at first, but then it turns into something totally animalic. I like it, but you need to try it for a few days.
A super animalic musk, almost like white goat hair, but very cosy. It’s very similar to Blossomcare’s White Incense, except this one has the best incense in the world and is more intense.

White Suede is a pure musk, uncomplicated. The suede note has that Tom Ford leather quality that people love, though it’s not much more noticeable than in cheap musks like Béjar’s Musc Secret, which smells identical. Performance is moderate as usual for this type, but if you like musk, it’s ideal for cold days. Scent: 8 Longevity: 6 Projection: 5 Value for money: 4 Versatility: 8 Originality: 5 Overall: 7
